The Ravenna Festival was founded in 1990 by Cristina Mazzavillani Muti, with a rich programme which includes symphonic and chamber music, opera, drama, dance, ballet, musical theatre, jazz, and ethnic music.

It’s the perfect location for a summer festival as Ravenna is a stunningly beautiful city, with eight UNESCO World Heritage sites including its stunning gilded basilicas encrusted with the famous ancient mosaics, and also because it only takes only quarter of an hour to drive to the beaches and pine forest.

Opening the festival on 5 June this year was Mazzavillani’s husband, Riccardo Muti, conducting the Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini with Maurizio Pollini, and closing it on 16 July is Daniele Cipriani’s Les Étoiles gala: a mosaic of dance in the city of mosaics.

The dancers come from Korea, France, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, America representing ballet companies also in Hungary and Holland:

Dorothée Gilbert and Hugo Marchand (Paris Opera Ballet) Jacopo Tissi and Alena Kovaleva (Bolshoi Ballet) Bakhtiyar Adamzhan (Astana Opera, Kazakhstan) Tatiana Melnik (Hungarian National Ballet) Constantine Allen, Anna Tsygankova, Young Gyu Choi and Rebecca Storani (Dutch National Ballet) Sergio Bernal (Spanish National Ballet)

Second post help………. I’m just gonna introduce the main three ig 😭

Tw mention of abuse and being hanged

(Banner by @matthewmat1cs !!!!!)

SO. The guy in the back is 2p Rome and the girl is nyo 2p Rome. Their names are Remus and Agrippina Vargas respectively and the guy in the front is obv Rome/Romulus. He’s the oldest, Agrippina is the middle child and Remus is the youngest. Honestly I cannot explain their dynamic in a few sentences but Remus and Agrippina are the most fucked up people ever and Rome is trying to get them to not kill each other

To summarise their backstory a bit and to explain why they’re fighting, when they were younger (Remus 16-19 yrs old, Agrippina 22-25, I want to say? Rome 26-29) Agrippina was envious/jealous af abt how Romulus guaranteed Remus he’d be the next consul of Rome (and later the heir of the Roman Empire) because she thought he was immature and incompetent (for now, think of him as a modern Rome 2.0) and she knew she’d never be able to get into that position of power he was in so she thought it would be a great idea to abuse the ever living shit out of him and basically suck his life force out since she needs to take her anger out on the source of her problems!!! Yay such a great sister!!

By the way, Romulus was their caretaker (he lowkey did not trust them with servants). He killed their father Roman Kingdom at 18 I want to say (Remus was 8 Agrippina was 14) and was left to raise them but the issue was he had no clue how to raise children. He wasn’t a father, more of a quarrelsome teenager, so he sort of just put that in the back of his head. He does care about them, he really does, but being 18 and wanting glory desperately kinda prevents the few braincells he has from connecting the dots on how to care for children.

Agrippina was the one primarily taking care of Remus after Romulus got a lil power hungry and decided to expand his borders so he was never really around much—it’s how she was able to get away with her abuse. Servants of course couldn’t really say anything either if they didn’t want to find themselves hung first thing in the morning 😭

There’s so much more to be honest 💀 but I’ll get into the side plots later. BTW, Carthage/Hannibal is involved in their backstory in more than just the Punic wars lol. Hope this was a decent enough backstory intro 🥹

Think I’ll start tagging posts by character names too

[rometalia]

Some stuff about Rome and Remus (and Agrippina)

HI so. I kind of died for a bit so I will make up for that by yapping about my favourite brothers + their mentally ill sister ever 🙏🙏

Tw mentions of abuse

Tbh part of the reason I think Agrippina was so unnecessarily hard on Remus (and that’s just putting it lightly) was because she felt betrayed in a way. I think she’s always admired Romulus, she’s always stuck by his side longer than Remus, and she wanted to be just like him. Remus on the other hand had come to view Romulus more negatively because of everything that’s happened, and he now blames Rome for letting Agrippina abuse him (because of how barely present he was in his childhood lmao). But Romulus still made him his heir. Remus never really wanted the job but he felt like he had to put on a front (back then he was more of a people pleaser. Despite not liking Rome, he was kind of just a Rome 2.0) and didn’t want to disappoint to Roman people. This angered Agrippina severely /ref (if ykyk).

I focus a bit more on Rome and Remus’s relationship in the Roman siblings 😭 idk.. they’re really interesting to me, I CAN’T PROPERLY DESCRIBE IT but like the pipeline from sweet child that loved his brother and sister to depressed, angry, bitter old man that hates everybody is CRAZY and Rome had so much to do with this transformation as well as Agrippina. If he had been present in his childhood instead of in his teens and while Agrippina was slowly ruining his life Remus would’ve turned out sane. A little fucked in the head just like everybody else, but sane. Instead we have whatever the hell he has going on.

They make me so ill sorry 😭

Anyways sorry for dying,, school has been keeping me on my toes and I guess I didn’t know what to write lol. But I’m back I think! I’ll post so more more fanart over the next few days and finally start talking about ships if you guys are interested in historical yaoi (and toxic yaoi and yuri)
